DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Post-Tropical Cyclone
Imelda was located near latitude 33.2 North, longitude 59.5 West.
The post-tropical cyclone is moving toward the east-northeast near
29 mph (46 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue
through tonight. A northeastward motion is then forecast on Friday
and Saturday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. Gradual weakening is forecast over the next few days, but
the post-tropical cyclone will remain a large and powerful system
as it moves across the central Atlantic.

Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center, and gale-force winds extend outward up to 310 miles (500
km).

The estimated minimum central pressure is 980 mb (28.94 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Hurricane Imelda can be found in the Tropical
Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header
WTNT44 KNHC.

WIND: Gusty winds on Bermuda are expected to gradually subside
today.

SURF: Distant swells generated by Imelda are affecting the Bahamas,
Bermuda, and much of the U.S. East Coast. Swells from Imelda will
spread toward the Greater Antilles and northern Leeward Islands on
Friday and continue through the weekend. These swells are likely to
cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please
consult products from your local weather office.
